Mon, 05 Dec 2016 17:38:35 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2889The piles are threatening to take over my house. I do not think of myself as a hoarder, and I very much like living in a space that is clean and tidy, but I don’t seem to have any control over the piles of papers that accumulate in every room of the house. Nobody would […]

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 17:15:08 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2875Stan the rabbit is not happy with his confinement. He has been living very happily on the porch these last few months, coming into the kitchen throughout the day to play with us, and the cats, tearing off into his porch when there is too much activity. We had high hopes of him being a […]

]]>For the Love of the Charactershttp://www.janegreen.com/2016/11/character-love/
Fri, 25 Nov 2016 17:10:44 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2871I have just finished writing my nineteenth novel. For years people have asked me how it feels when I finish a novel, and I haven’t known how to answer them. In the old days, it felt wonderful, knowing I had achieved something so big. A great weight would be off my shoulders, freeing me up […]

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 17:15:49 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2867When I was a teenager, I distinctly remember spending hours on the phone. At some point I was lucky enough to have a phone in my bedroom, and I would sit on the floor, leaning back against the bed, twirling the cord around and around my fingers as my best friend Harriet and I talked […]

Mon, 21 Nov 2016 17:15:35 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2862I went to my friend’s house for tea last week, and as soon as I walked in her kitchen it was clear we both had a case of the blues. “No,” she said. “We’re not going to go down the road of self-pity. Tell me something good.” And so I told her about The Rower, […]

A few weeks ago we were invited to join them for Romeo and Juliet, with the prima ballerina, Alessandra Ferri, […]

Mon, 31 Oct 2016 19:48:50 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2837I am completely thrilled to announce my new book, The Sunshine Girls. I started this book last year, then abandoned it for a while, unsure of where it was going. Earlier this year I went back to it, pleasantly surprised at it being much better than I remembered. I rewrote what I had, and hunkered […]

Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:45:51 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2823I am just back from a trip which was supposed to be with my husband, except it turned out it was on a weekend during which he had planned to visit eldest daughter at University, and so I decided to bring one of my best friends, aka my gay husband, instead. I was ever so slightly nervous, because […]

]]>Lemon and Almond Cake Tarthttp://www.janegreen.com/2016/10/lemon-almond-cake-tart/
Sat, 15 Oct 2016 15:54:45 +0000http://www.janegreen.com/?p=2758RECIPE FROM GOOD TASTE. Order now. One of my most favorite people in the world is my sister-in-law, Fishy. I was already living in the States when she became my sister-in-law, which is unfortunate on two levels. First, I don’t get to see her nearly as often as I would like, and second, I don’t […]
